Wood's V-50 
Made 212.61 Bushels Per Acre 
The 100-Bu. Corn Club All-Time Record 
Won $100.00 Prize for Thomas Starke, Prince George Co., Va. 
V. P. I. recommends V-50 for Southern Piedmont and East- 
ern Va. where it outyielded all yellow corns. 3 years in ex- 
periment station tests and was at the top throughout Va. 
It had 84.6 the highest shelling per cent, very few rotten 
ears, good kernel quality, low ears and was medium early. 
“T was very pleased with V-50 which won me Ist prize in 
the Eastern Shore, Va., 100 bu. Corn Club.”—F. T. Harman. 
L. W. Morton, Co. Agent, says V-50 was the only corn to 
make the 100 Bu. Corn Club in Charlotte Co., Va. 
“T made the 100 Bu. Corn Club with V-50. The same num- 
ber of bags weighed out 144 more bushels with V-50 than 
with another leading hybrid.”—J. K. Seward, Isle of Wight. 
N. C. experiment station tests: V-50 made a record 144.8 
bu. per acre. For 2 years it averaged 120 bu. per acre, 
highest yellow in N. E. Coastal tests, was low in lodged 
plants and yielded at the tope in Piedmont tests. In 1948 it 
made the highest average yield of any corn in all N. C. tests. 
Clemson 8. C. Highest average yield of yellow corns 2 years. 
North Ga. tests: Tops in yield and stalk strength 2 years. 
Md. Expt Station ranks it with the best, tested 4 years. 
W.V.: Among the top yellow corns in mid-long season tests 
La.: Made 118 bu. acre, highest at North East Expt. sta. 
Wood’s V-51 Yellow 
You May Beat V-50’s Record with V-51, 
OUR BEST FEED CORN FOR THE UPPER SOUTH 
V-51 is an improvement on V-50 in yield, shuck protec- 
tion and resistance to weevils, ear worms, storms and dis- 
ease. V-51 resists stalk rot which causes such damage to 
other hybrids in the South, especially when planted close and 
neavily fertilized. It has sounder, heavier ears, deeper golden’ 
color and higher feed value. 
“Despite very dry weather my 50 acre field of V-51 made 
127.67 bu. per acre in the 100 Bu. Corn Club, highest on the 
oeninsula. A hurricane knocked other corn down. The V-51 
stood like saplings and was harvested by machinery. None 
of the ears were on the ground. It responds better than other 
aybrids to thick planting and heavy fertilization.”—L. A. 
Burkholder, Warwick Co., Va. 
disease. 
V-50 has big sound ears, deep grain, high feeding value, strong 
vigorous stalks and root. Resists disease, storm and drought. 
Wood’s V-25 and V-26 Extra Early 
112 Days. Yellow. 
or Extra Early Feed in the South. Roasting Ears 78 Days. 
V-25, most popular extra early South- 
ern hybrid, resists drought, storm and feed corn. Has big ears placed low on 
Best Yields for Short Mountain Seasons, or for Hogs 
V-26, our highest yielding extra early 
short strong stalks, easy to harvest. It 
Thomas Starke, manager of Upper 
Brandon was honored by Governor 
Battle of Va. for making 212.61 bu. per 
acre with Wcod’s V-590, all time record 
in the 100 Bu. per Acre Corn Club. He 
planted 6 inches apart in 42 inch rows. 
Most hybrids would go down with this 
close planting and heavy fertilization. 
Many N. C. farmers joined the 100 Bu. 
Corn Club with V-25. In Eastern Caro- 
lina many plant it after early potatoes. 
Made 87.4 bu. per acre of dry corn by 
Sept. 3 for Ed. Armstrong, Tyrrell Co. 
“It outyielded our best local corn 17% 
bu. per acre. Has excelled at 2,650 ft. 
4 years. Resists storms.’—T. M. Cal- 
houn, Grayson Co., Va. 
“V-25 made way over 100 bu. per acre. 
Some hills had 6 ears, 10 inches long. My 
county agent and everyone said it was 
the best they ever saw.’—J. H. Price, 
Raleigh Co., W. Va. 
has deep spreading roots. 
N. ©. Experiment Station tested and 
approved it for Coastal Plains and for 
Upper Mountains where it was high in 
yield, low in lodging, early maturing. 
Va. Mountain Experiment Stations: 
V-26 made top yields, was very early, 
low in moisture at harvest, low in lodged 
plants, and high in shelling %. Ears 
were placed very low. It outyielded 
U. S. 262 by 6.2 bu., Ind. 750 by 4.2 bu. 
and Iowa 4059 by 10 bu. per acre. 
Conn. Expt. Sta.: earlier and out- 
yielded U. S. 13 and other leading hybrids.
